•Sn^RAVELLERS  from  Niagara  Falls  via  Toronto  for  the  Thous-

New  York  Contra!  Railroad  for  Lewiston,  or  Niagara,  thence  by 
steamer  dir(jct  for  Toronto,  or  from  the  Clifton  House  by  rail  to 
Toronto;  they  can  also  go  from  Suspension  Bridge  by  rail  via 
Hamilton. 

The  steamers  and  railways  reach  Toronto  in  ample  time  to  con- 
nect with  the  splendid  steamevs  of  the  Richelieu  &  Ontario  Naviga- 
tion Co.,  leaving  daily  (Sundays  excepted)  at  2  o'clock  P.  M.,  for  the 
different  ports  on  Lake  Ontario  to  Kingston,  and  through  the 
Tlioumnd  Itlands  and  Rapids  of  the  St.  Lawrence,  running  under  the 
Great  Victoria  Bridge,  arriving  at  Montreal  at  6.30  P.M.,  connecting 
with  this  Company's  Magnifiobnt  Steamers  for  Quebec 

A  brief  sketch  of  the  cities  and  towns  at  which  these  steamers 
call  may  not  be  uninteresting  to  the  tourist,  especially  as  they  are 
made  during  daylight. 


LEWISTON.— This  village  is  a  place  of  considerable  importance, 
being  situated  at  the  head  of  navigation  on  the  lower  Niagara. 

Once  on  board,  the  steamer  passes  along  Niagara  River  for  about 
seven  miles,  the  current  still  running  very  rapidly,  until  it  finds  its 
way  into  Lake  Ontario.    Situated  nearly  opposite  Lewiston  is 

QUEENSTON.— This  village  is  associated  in  history  with  the 
gallant  defence  made  by  the  British  on  the  adjacent  heights  in  the 
war  of  1812.  Brock's  Monument  stands  on  these  heights,  and  is  185 
feet  high.    The  next  stopping  place  is 

NIAGARA,  one  of  the  oldest  towns  in  Ontario,  and  was  formerly 
the  capital  of  the  Province.  The  trade  of  this  place  has  been 
argely  directed  to  St.  Catherine's  since  the  completion  of  the  Wel- 
iand  Canal. 

Almost  immediately  after  leaving  Niagara  we  pass  between  the 
tw^o  forts,  Niagara  and  Massasauga.  From  this  point  we  pass  into 
fae  lake,  and  once  in  the  centre,  almost  lose  sight  of  the  land  be- 
hind; and  the  City  of  Toronto  immediately  in  front,  on  approaching 
which  the  sight  from  the  steamer  is  very  fine.  Its  public  buildings 
and  wharves  show  it  to  be  a  city  of  importance  and  prosperity. 


TORONTO  is  the  Capital  of  the  Province  of  ( 
the  most  flourishing  cities  in  the  Dominion, 
beautif"'  bay,  separated  from  the  lake  by  a  p( 
Gibraltar  Point,  which  servea  to  form   a  safe 
harbor.     Its  streets  are  broad  and  well  laid 
generally  is  built  of  a  light-colored  brick,  of  a  soft 
buildings  are  very  substantial  and  many  of  them 
are  over  fifty  churches  and  about  fifteen  banks, 
edifices  are  strikingly  grand.    Its  fine  harbor  ) 
ties  for  extensive  traffic,  and  various  lines  of  lake 
run  daily  to  all  ports  East  and  West.     Five  lin 
connect  the  city  with  all  places  of  importance. 

Having  viewed  Toronto,  we  arrange  for  the  c 
tour  eastward,  which  may  be  done  e'*'  • .  ^y  b

Six  miles  further  the  steamers  call  at

of  an  exceedingly  fertile  section  of  the  countr; 
commodious  harbor;  an  extensive  trade  in  grain, 
products  is  carried  on  here.  After  leaving  this  t< 
ping  place  is  the  city  of 

KINGSTON,  which  after  Quebec  and  Halifax, 
fort  in  the  Dominion.  A  settlement  was  begun  h 
under  Governor  De  Courcelles  in  1672,  and  we

by  the  expedition  under  Col.  Bradstreet  in  1768. 
fell  into  the  hands  of  the  English,  from  whom  it

THE  THOUSAND  ISLANDS. 


These  islands 
commence  near 
Kingston,  and 
extend  down- 
ward to  Brock- 
ville.  a  distance 
of  over  fifty  miles.  They  form  the  most  numerous 
collection  of  river  islands  in  the  world,  are  of  every 
imaginable  shape,  size  and  appearance,  some  being 
mere  dots  of  rock  a  few  yards  in  extent,  others 
covering  acres,  thickly  wooded,  and  presenting  the  most  chai-ming 
appearance  of  rich  foliage  conceivable.  At  times  the  steamer 
passes  so  close  to  these  islands  that  a  pebble  might  be  cast  on  their 
shore;  while,  looking  ahead,  it  appears  as  though  fiirther  progress 
was  effectually  barred,  when  rounding  the  points  amid  widening 
passages  and  bays  the  way  is  gradually  opened  before  us.  Again 
the  river  seems  to  come  to  an  abrupt  termination.  Approaching  the 
threatening  shores,  a  channel  suddenly  appears,  and  you  are  whirled 
into  a  magnificent  ajaphitheatre  of  lake,  that  is,  to  all  appearance, 
bounded  by  an  immense  green  bank.  At  your  approach  the  mass  is 
moved  as  if  by  magic,  and  a  hundred  little  isles  appear  in  its  place. 
Such  is  the  charming  scenery  presented  on  this  beautiful  route.  It 
is  a  famous  spot  for  sporting;  myriads  of  wild  fowl  of  all  descriptions 
may  here  be  found.  Angling  is  considered  very  good,  and  one  of 
the  best  places  on  the  St.  Lawrence,  from  the  great  quantity  and 
size  of  the  fish.  These  islands  are  becoming  famous  as  a  summer 
resort  by  the  great  monied  men  of  the  United  States,  numerous 
handsome  villas  having  been  erected  thereon,  and  other  improve- 
naents  going  on  increasing  every  year.  By  this  line  tourists  have 
the  option  of  going  through  these  beautiful  islands  either  by  the 
British  or  American  channel.

INFORMATION   FOR  TOURISTS 


-VISITING  THE 


^^  RIVER  SAGUENAY. 


c^^ 

>^<» 


IIEIIE  are  many  objects  of  interest  to  note  in  making 
this  excursion.  In  leaving  Queuec,  there  is  a  fine  view 
of  tlie  city  and  harbor  from  the  promenade  deck  of  the 
steamer.  Cape  Diamond,  with  its  citadel  and  battlements, 
the  city  surrounding  same  on  all  sides,  with  its  domes  and 
spires,  the  ramparts  and  batteries  crowning  this  thriving 
town,  the  fertile  plains  of  Beauport  in  the  foreground,  lend 
an  enchantment  to  the  sight  not  to  be  surpassed.  The 
harbor  improvements.  The  Louise  Tidal  Basin,  the  largest  on 
this  continent.  Looking  across  on  the  south  side,  opposite 
Quebec,  there  stands  tlie  growing  town  of  Levis  of  about  30,000 
inhabitants,  being  the  terminus  of  the  Grand  Trunk  Eailway, 
the  Quebec  Central  and  Intercolonial  Railways.  jThe  terminus 
also  of  the  Royal  Mail  Ocean  Steamers.  A  little  back  of  the 
town  stands  the  celebrated  fortifications  built  by  the  imperial 
government.  There  is  also  a  graving  dock,  th^  most  extensive 
in  size  in  America.  The  "Montmorency  Fa'ls"  charms  the 
beholder  as  the  steamer  swiftly  glides  by.  Then  turning  from 
the  city,  Ave  see  the  Island  of  Orleans,  which  Jacques  Cartier 
in  1535  christened  the  '-Isle  of  Bacchus,"  so  called  from  the 
luxuriant  growth  of  its  wild  grape-vines.  It  is  situated  nine 
miles  below  Quebec;  it  is  twenty  miles  in  length,  and  six  in 
its  greatest  width.  There  are  several  villages  scattered  over  its 
surface ;  its  soil  is  very  fertile ;  it  rises  to  a  considerable  eleva- 
tion at  its  western  extremity,  the  high  land  being  fully  350  feet 
above  the  water  level.  There  are  numerous  Catholic  churches 
and  one  Protestant.  The  total  population  of  the  island  is 
between  6,000  and  7,000.  A  ferry  steamer  plies  regularly 
between  the  city  and  the  island.

July  sunsi't  as  seen  fr<»m  here.  There  are  two  very  fine 
water-falls  at  Uiviere  du  Loup. 


CACOUNA    BAY. 


Leaving  the  wharf,  the  boat  points  her  course  again  to 
the  opposite  shore,  and  in  less  than  two  hoxirs  we  find 
ourselves  at 

"TADOUSAC," 

which  is  at  the  mouth  of  the  far-famed  Saguenay.  This  is  a 
very  pleasant  spot.  There  is  a  fine  hotel  here,  and  in  connec- 
tion with  it  all  kinds  of  sports  for  the  amusement  of  visitors. 
The  bathing  at  this  place  is  very  superior.  A  large  number 
of  villas  have  beer  .rected,  including  one  built  by  his  ex- 
cellency Earl  Dufterin,  now  owned  by  Sir  R.  Cameron  of 
New  York. 

Tadousac  is  interesting  from  its  having  been  from  an  early 
period  the  capital  of  the  French  settlenxents,  and  one  of  their 
chief  trading  posts.  The  great  white  Hotel  throws  its  shadow 
over  the  little  two-hundred-year-old  chapel  of  the  Jesuits, 
which  stands  at  the  foot  of  its  lawn  still  preserved  in  all  the 
simplicity  of  its  time.  Here  are  the  ruins  of  a  Jesuit  establish- 
ment, and  on  this  spot  once  stood  the  first  stone  and  mortar 
building  ever  erected  in  America,  the  home  of  Father  Marquette,

the  explorer  of  tlio  River  ^fississippi.  A  cluster  of  pine  trees 
over  'JOO  years  old  has  <;r()\vn  from  the  centre  of  these  historical 
ruins.  Getting  ahoard  again,  we  now  really  enter  the  justly 
lenowned  Saguenay.  At  every  turn  of  the  boat  some  new 
atti-action  is  discovered;  our  eyes  arc  strained  that  we  may 
catch  a  glimpse  of  all  the  magnificent  grandeur  that  now  hursts 
upon  us. 

THE    SAGUENAY    RIVER 

is  xmquestionahly  one  of  the  most  remarkable  rivers  of  the 
continent.  Its  waters  are  very  clear,  and  abound  in  a  great 
variety  of  fine  fish.  The  scenery  is  wild  and  romantic  in 
the  highest  degree.  The  first  half  of  its  course  averages  half 
a  mile  in  width,  and  runs  through  an  almost  untrodden  wilder- 
ness. This  wonderful  river  seems  one  huge  mountain,  rent 
asunder  at  remote  ages  by  some  great  convulsion  of  Nature. 
The  shores  are  composed  principally  of  granite,  and  every  bend 
presents  to  view  an  imposing  bluff.  Many  of  those  tower 
perpendicularly  into  the  air,  r.nd  seem  ready  to  totter  and  fall 
at  any  momeiit. 

CAPES   ETERNITY  AND   TRINITY 

are  worthy  of  note.  The  first  rises  io  a  height  of  1,900  feet, 
and  the  other  only  a  little  less.  If  the  only  recompense  for 
the  visit  to  the  Saguenay  was  a  sight  of  these  stuper.dovis 
promontories,  we  are  quite  sure  no  visitor  woiild  regret  it. 
The  steamers  shut  off  steam  when  approaching  these  capes, 
and  the  captain    shapes  his   course  to  give  the    passengers

Ou  leaving  KINCJS- 
TON,  the  first  stopping 
place  on  the  American 
shore  is  the  village  of 

CLAYTON,  a  place  of  considerujle  importance  as  a 
lumbering  port.  Of  late  years  it  has  become  a  great  resort 
for  pleasure-seekers.  The  fishing  and  shooting  are 
amongst  the  best  on  the  St.  Lawrence.  The  next  two 
stopping  places  are  Round  Island  and  the  Great 
Thousand  Island  Park.    The  Boat  then  proceeds  to 

ALEXANDRIA  BAY.-This  town  is  built  upon  a  mas- 
sive pile  of  rocks;  its  situation  is  romantic  and  highly 
picturesque.  It  is  a  place  of  resort  for  sportsmen,  and  is 
celebrated  for  its  shooting  and  fishing.  The  beauty  of 
the  islands  in  this  vicinity  for  several  miles  up  and 
down  the  river  can  hardly  be  imagined  without  a  personal  visit.  It 
has  attained  great  prominence  as  one  of  the  leading  watering-places. 
We  have  now  passed  through  the  "  Lake  of  the  Thousand  Islands," 
and  speedily  find  ouiselves  at  the  thriving  tov^n  of 

BROCKVIIXE,  situated  on  the  Canadian  side  of  the  St.  Law- 
sence,  and  thirty  miles  below  Gananoque.  It  was  named  in  honor 
of  General  Brock,  who  fell  on  Queenston  Heights  in  the  War  of 
1812.  It  is  growing  very  rapidly,  and  is  one  of  the  most  pleasant, 
heaTt^y  and  thriving  towns  on  this  side  of  the  river.     Next  comes 

PRESCOTT,  situated  on  the  Canada  side  of  the  St.  Law- 
rence, opposite  Ogdensburg;  it  contains  about  3,000  inhabitants. 
A  mile  below  this  town  is  "  Windmill  Point]"  it  contains  the  ruins 
of  an  old  stone  windmill  in  which,  in  1837,  the  "  PatrioU"  under 
Von  Shultz,  a  Polish  exile,  established  themselves,  but  from  which

they  were  driven  with  great  loss.  About  five  mi 
is  Chimney  Island,  on  which  the  remains  of  an  c 
tion  are  to  be  seen.  The  first  rapid  of  the  St.  I 
Island,  called  the 

GALOP  RAPID.    It  is  not  no  extensive  as  th( 
or  half  so  exciting,  but  it  prepares  tne  traveller 
lent  waters  to   pass  the  increasing  swiftness 
The  next  is 

THE  LONG  SACLT,  a  continuous  rapid  of  ni 
the  centre  by  an  island.  The  usual  passage  f( 
the  south  side ;  the  channel  on  the  north  side 
^sidered  unsafe  and  dangerous,  but  examinatio: 
and  it  is  now  d^jscended  with  safety.  The  stean 
ing  this  rapid,  rushes  along  at  the  rate  of  sou 
miles  an  hour,  the  steam  is  shut  off  and  she  is  ci 
force  of  the  current  alone.  The  surging  waters 
pearance  of  the  ocean  in  a  storm,  but  unlike  tl 
and  tossing  at  sea,  this  going  down  hill  by  watei 
novel  sensation.    The  next  town  is 


CORNWALL,  pleasantly  situated  at  the  foo 

-on  the  Canada  side.    The  boundary  line  betwe 

and  Canada  passes  near  this  village,  and  tl

the  St.  Lawrence  which  begins  near  Cornw; 
Coteau  du  Lac,  a  distance  of  forty  miles.  Aft( 
we  get  into  the

which  the  remains  of  an  old  French  fortiflca- 
he  first  rapid  of  the  St.  Lawrence  is  at  this 


[t  is  not  flo  extensive  as  the  succeeding  rafids 
It  it  prepares  tne  traveller  from  its  leas  turbu- 
the  increasing  swiftness  of  those  following. 

T,  a  continuous  rapid  of  nine  miles,  divided  in 
md.  The  usual  passage  for  steamers  was  on 
ihannel  on  the  north  side  was  iormerly  con- 
langerous,  tut  examinations  have  been  made, 
ed  with  safety.  The  steamer  after  fully  enter- 
s  along  at  the  rate  of  something  like  twenty 
am  is  shut  off  and  she  is  carried  along  by  the 
lone.  The  surging  waters  present  all  the  ap- 
n  in  a  storm,  but  unlike  the  ordinary  pitching 
is  going  down  hill  by  water  produces  a  highly 
!  next  town  is 


asantly  situated  at  the  foot  of  the  Long  Sault, 

The  boundary  line  between  the  United  States 

near  this  village,  and  the  course  of  the  St. 

jr  within  Her  Majesty's  Doi:iinions. 

f CIS.— This  is  the  name  of  that  expansion  of 
'hich  begins  near  Cornwall,  and  extends  to 
tance  of  forty  miles.    After  leaving  thi«:  town 

>S,  a  very  fine  rapid  aoout  two  miles  in  length; 
I  current  is  very  swift.    Seven  miles  lower  down 


CEDAR  RAPIDS.-  At  first  sight  this  rapid  has  the  appearance 
of  the  ordinary  rapids,  but  once  the  steamer  has  entered  it  the  tur- 
bulent waters  and  pitching  about  renders  the  passage  very  exciting. 
There  is  also  a  peculiar  motion  of  the  vessel,  which  seems  lit 
settling  down,  as  she  glides  from  one  ledge  to  another.  A  short 
distance  below  this  we  enter  the 

SP1.it  rock,  so  called  from  its  enormous  boulders  at  the  en- 
trance. A  person  unacquainted  with  the  navigation  of  these  rapids 
will  almost  involuntarily  hold  his  breath  until  this  ledge,  which  is 
distinctly  seen  from  the  deck  of  the  steamer,  is  passed.  At  one  time 
the  vessel  see^is  to  be  running  directly  upon  it,  and  you  almost  feel 
certain  that  she  will  strike,  but  a  skilful  hand  is  at  the  helm,  and 
in  an  instant  more  it  is  passed  in  safety.  We  now  come  to  the  last 
of  this  series  of  rapids,  called  the 

CASCADE  rapids.-   '^'t  is  a  very  fine  rapid.  It  is  remarkable 
on  account  of  its  numero-i  white  crests  foaming  on  top  of  the 
darkish  waters,  through  which  the  vessel  passes,  and  as  the  shortness 
of  the  waves  has  the  effect  of  pitching  the  steamer  as  if  at  sea,  the 
sensat'on  is  very  enjoyable.    After  passing  the  Cascades,  the  river 
again  widens  into  a  lake  called  Lake  St.  Louis,  where  the  dark 
waters  of  the  Ottawa  by  one  of  its  branches  joins  the  St.  Lawrence. 
This  series  of  four  rapids  are  eleven  miles  in  extent,  and  have  a 
descent  of  eighty-two  and  one-half  feet.    On  this  lake  the  tourist 
from  .  le  deck  of  the  steamer  has  a  magnificent  view  of  the  Montreal 
Mountain  about  thirty  miles  distant.  After  passing  through  this  lake 
I.ACHINE  is  reached.  It  is  nine  miles  from  Montreal,  with  which 
it  is  connected  by  railroad.     It  derives  its  name  from  the  first 
settlers,  who  when  they  reached  this  point  thovght  they  had  dis- 
covered the  passage  which  would  lead  them  to  China.    The  Lachine 
Rapids  begin  just  below  the  village.    On  the  opposite  side  stands 

CAUGHNAWAOA,  an  Indian  village  lying  on  the  south  bank  of 
the  river  near  the  entrance  of  the  Lachine  Rapids,  and  derives  its 
name  from  the  converted  Indians,  who  were  called  "Caughnawagas," 
or  praying  Indians.    It  is  at  this  place  the  old  Indian  pilot  shoots  out 
in  his  bark  canoe  and  boards  the  steamer  for  the  purpose  of  piloting 
her  down  the  Lachine  Rapids.    Baptistb,  the  Indian  pilot,  is  as 
anxiously  looked  for  by  the  passengers  on  board  of  this  Company's 
Steamers  as  the  rapid  itself.  He  is  now  in  the  prime  of  life,  and  has 
made  it  his  business  for  over  forty  years  to  pilot  st'^amers  down  the 
rapids,  and  has  not  missed  a  day  in  twenty  years.    During  the 
summer    season   he   is  employed  exclusively  by  this  Company. 
Shortly  after  leaving  this  Indian  Village  the  tourist  can  contemplate 
the  new,  magnificent  bridge  recently  constructed  by  the  Canadian 
Pacific  Railway,  and  spanning  for  the  second  time  the  mighty  St. 
Lawrence.    It  is  built  on  the  most  recent  scientific  principles  and 
resembles  the  great  International  Railway  Bridge  at  i^iagara.    The 
steamer  now  glides  dowttthe  rapid  stream  with  increasing  swiftness, 
which  clearly  denotes  that  a  formidable  rapid  is  ahead.     Stillness 


reigns  on  board;    away  goes  the  Hteaiuer,  diiven  by  an  irresistible 
current,  which  soon  carnes  lier  to  the  first  pitch  of  the 

LACHINE    RAPIDS. 


the  most  formidable  of  them  all,  the  most  diflacult  of  navigation

^ach  side,  steers  straight  in  the  swift  current,  guided  by  the  steady 
eyx?  and  »ure  piloting  of  the  man  at  the  helm.    Conversation  is
